Closing Event: CLOCHA GEALA – Irish Music, Myth & Art with Sheila Moylan

Join us for a special closing event celebrating CLOCHA GEALA, the acclaimed exhibition by Irish artist, harpist and singer Sheila Moylan.

Inspired by the ancient landscape of the Boyne Valley and the monument of Newgrange, Moylan’s work explores the rich space between archaeology, myth and imagination through drawing, sculpture and storytelling.

This intimate afternoon brings together live music, storytelling, poetry and meditation. Sheila Moylan will perform original songs inspired by Irish mythology and the ancient world, accompanied by flautist Martin Lau, while special guest Máire E Ní Mhaolalaidh will celebrate the Celtic festival of Lughnasadh with bilingual poetry, storytelling and a guided meditation accompanied by Sheila on harp.

Following the performances, audiences are invited to meet the artist, enjoy one final viewing of the exhibition and relax with a complimentary welcome drink, included with admission.

Whether you’ve already visited CLOCHA GEALA or are discovering it for the first time, this unique event offers a rare opportunity to experience the exhibition through music, myth, conversation and the artists’ own creative perspectives.
